Why does the Indian usage seem to be there for no reason at times?
I often see the Indian (I think it is referring to Sanskrit-rooted names without a particular language) usage on the list of usages a name has, and then is followed by a bunch of other usages from India. Why is this and how should I submit Indian names?
Thanks.
Thanks.

You don't need to include "Indian" when adding other usages from India.
In the main database it is included automatically (for clarity) but this practice is likely going to disappear in a future update.

Also, could there be an option for 'Sanskritized'? When you look at Thai names especially, there are often 2 or more styles of orthography when transcribed into Latin, e.g. 'Watthana' is the more phonemic spelling while 'Vadhana' is the Sanskrit-style spelling, but both are still pronounced the same way and written the same in Thai. Could there be an option for 'Sanskritized'?

For sure. I've added "Sanskritized".
Thanks!
